Synopsis

Talk show host Marc Morin's popularity has visibly declined. His unsympathetic views and dubious sense of humor have led to him being hated by the majority of the viewing audience. Prestigious guests no longer want to appear on his show and audience ratings are plummeting. Totally absorbed by his personal interests, Morin pays little attention to the needs of his family. When the network threatens to take his show off the air, his agent sends him—against his will—to Haiti as a spokesperson of SOS World, hoping to improve his image and regain public sympathy.

To support him on the media tour, he's accompanied by Nataly Morin, a communications officer with questionable methods; Richard, an emotional photographer; and Sammy, an amateur singer. Over the course of one week, the host, who's used to other people providing for his every need, will be confronted with the precarious living conditions of Haitians and meets several people along the way who touch his heart as a citizen and father.
